Animal Lover's Afternoon

The sweetest of sweethearts invited Christi back to the Animal Hospital at Penn today. As you can see, Christi had the time of her life! The staff will never know how happy they made Christi! I think the pictures say it all! THANK YOU for allowing Christi this incredibly special treat today! (Thanks, dear Jodi!!)

She needed the wheelchair as she’s been having bone pain in her legs which I attribute to being a side effect from the Nulasta. Tonight she’s saying that now her stomach hurts in the same manner. Regardless, I’ll be happy to be meeting with Dr. Maris at the hospital tomorrow. So far, no fever!

As I rolled her away from the animal hospital I asked her if she wanted to stroll or go right back to Ronald. She said we could stroll so I took off. Soon she was pointing to her left – to her favorite used book store. I asked if she really wanted to go as I had to lift her heavy carriage up some steps; she did – so I did. And so glad am I we did! You see after reading one chapter of a book in a chapter collection at the hospital, she wanted to read the rest of the one book. She asked for it at the Barnes & Noble on campus and learned it was an out of print book. Today’s used bookstore has a tremendous adult section; however, their children’s section is only about 100 books I estimate. Well, much to our delight and amazement they had that book, and it was a mere $1.75!! “This proves it; there is a higher Being, ” I went downstairs and told the store owner who follows Christi’s website. We’re currently on chapter four!
